Chapter 24: Chapter 22: Plan Restart
"Please allow us some time to consider. After consulting with the Shrine Maiden, the sole representative of the Eastern Federation, we will contact you with our answer. Is that acceptable?"
Hatsuse Ino gave this response while also imposing a restriction on the covenant.
> Within the days it takes for the Eastern Federation to provide an answer, the memories of the game participants and the audience will be temporarily erased. The memories will return once the answer is given <
Since there was no reason to object, and Sora and Shiro had already obtained sufficient information, they agreed.
This way, the Immanity race was left in a state where they had played a game with the Werebeasts but hadn't reached a conclusion, and no one knew what the game was about.
Thanks to this, Ino, accompanied by Izuna, left to report and discuss with the full representative of the Werebeasts.
From what Haruya remembered, the sole representative of the Werebeasts was a charming fox-eared shrine maiden, residing in the shrine of ~Kannagari City~, the Eastern Federation's Capital City.
Thinking about these tedious matters, Haruya realized that after Izuna left with Ino, things had become quite boring.
Playing his PSP, he executed a perfect combo and defeated the enemy.
As the victory sound played, Haruya tossed the PSP onto the bed and stared at the ceiling, lost in thought.
At the moment, there wasn't much Haruya could do, nor did he have any immediate means to change the current situation. His only advantage was that, even under the Covenant Binding, he wouldn't forget the contents of the game.
This gave Haruya more options. He could continue helping little Izuna, or he could team up with Sora and Shiro.
But the siblings' goal was to establish the Elkia Federation, while Haruya's goal was to become the sole representative of both races.
The nature of a federation and a sole representative were completely different, with fundamental differences that made peaceful coexistence impossible.
"That's true, but being in a hostile state with Sora and Shiro isn't a good thing. I need to find a way to set the pace."
No matter what action he took, he needed to maintain a certain rhythm. Otherwise, he would inevitably end up in a passive state, which wouldn't be good.
"The current situation is that the Werebeasts are discussing solutions regarding the game, while Sora and Shiro on Immanity's side will continue to take action. I also need to seize the opportunity to do something."
At the moment, the plot wasn't progressing as quickly as expected. Thanks to Haruya's interference, it had slowed down greatly.
Even so, the slowdown wasn't something to celebrate, as the core issue remained unchanged...
Up until now, Haruya still hadn't become the sole representative of any race, meaning he hadn't taken the first step.
However, in the end, to become the sole representative of a race, one needed capital and power. It wasn't something that could be easily achieved by someone like Haruya, who lacked significant capital.
Thinking this, Haruya suddenly jumped up from the floor and ran to the window, breathing in the fresh air outside the embassy.
"There might be a way!!!"
His shout startled the beast-eared maid cleaning outside. Dressed in a maid outfit, she dropped her broom and looked up at Haruya.
Being stared at by the beast-eared maid, Haruya crossed his arms at the window and began to ponder.
The Siren...
The Siren are ranked 15th in the Ixseed... And simply put, they are the Mermaid race.
Living in the shallow seabed, their upper bodies are human(Immanity), while their lower bodies are fish tails.
Their ecology is extremely unique, primarily because they can't stay out of the sea for long.
Because of this, they built the underwater city ~Oceando~, with the vast ocean as their territory.
Since the Siren Queen longed for a fairy-tale-like love story, she froze herself and entered a self-induced cold sleep that lasted eight hundred years.
However, this action wasn't a fairy tale, but rather the biggest joke in the world of Disboard.
The Sirens are also known as the race of fools, the hopelessly stupid Mermaids...
Haruya knew very well how to win over the Siren Queen. The problem was, he couldn't just go there without a reason, right?
If he aroused suspicion and the other party refused his challenge, there would be no way for him to become the sole representative of the Siren race.
The Queen had sworn an oath to the pledges, and what she had gambled was everything she possessed.
The thing is, she hadn't become the Queen during her cold sleep, but after the previous Queen passed the authority to her, everything she gambled became 'Everything belonging to the Sirens'...
Within 'Everything belonging to the Sirens' was the paramount position of the Siren's sole representative.
In short, whoever could win over the Queen and make her fall in love with them would gain control of the Siren race.
If that was the case, according to the plot, shouldn't he first go find that Dhampir boy who was seeking help?
The cross-dressing Dhampir looked like a beautiful girl on the outside, but was actually a trap(boy)... Hopefully, he was now wandering around the Eastern Federation's Elkia Embassy...
Earlier, Haruya had asked about Izuna's room, so he planned to take action tonight.
"In any case, I should rest first."
Rather than constantly worrying about problems and potential accidents, it was better to let his body rest and adapt to the upcoming pace.
Haruya's goal was simple: to win over the Siren Queen and become the sole representative of the Sirens, thereby gaining the capital and power he needed.
Whether the plot would follow Haruya's script depended on how he acted.
External factors existed, but as long as he could properly use his 'Save Scumming', Haruya had infinite opportunities and possibilities.
Dinner was delivered by a few beast-eared maids. After teasing one of them, Haruya was met with a cold glare and silently finished his meal.
Actually, not all the beast-eared maids in the embassy disliked Haruya. Some would blush and run away when they saw him.
Later, Haruya realized it was because he had forgotten to zip up his pants...
Aside from these trivial matters, he wanted to ask for advice from Hatsuse Ino, who had thirty wives...
Despite being a weird old man, he had somehow managed to win over so many beast-eared girls...
Glancing outside, the sky had already darkened, and the moon rose while a gentle breeze blew in through the window.
"Let's watch some hentai before going."
With that, Haruya opened his tablet. Just as he finished previewing the cover of 'The Adventure of a Beautiful Girl That Makes You XXOO and Full of Energy, This is"Sengoku Peach SS"!' , featuring a dazed-looking beauty, he suddenly sensed a presence behind him...
No, he actually just saw a shadow.
Turning around...
Under the light, the figure that finally appeared was a 'girl' dressed in black, as if wearing the night itself.
Short blue hair, dazzlingly glowing purple eyes, white teeth, and small bat-like wings on her back.
Although she looked like a fifteen or sixteen-year-old girl by Immanity standards, she was a Dhampir.
She was just like the vampires that appeared in typical creative stories.
'Did I just lure a Dhampir with hentai?'
That was Haruya's first thought...
